It's Too Darn Hot.
I'd Like To Sup With My Baby Tonight,
Fulfill The Cup With My Baby Tonight.
I'd Like To Sup With My Baby Tonight,
Fulfill The Cup With My Baby Tonight,
But I Ain't Up To My Baby Tonight,
'Cause It's Too Darn Hot.
It's Too Darn Hot.
I'd Like To Coo With My Baby Tonight,
And Pitch The Woo With My Baby Tonight.
I'd Like To Coo With My Baby Tonight,
And Pitch The Woo With My Baby Tonight.
But Sister You'll Fight My Baby Tonight
'Cause It's Too Darn Hot.

The Whiffenpoofs' song "Too Darn Hot" is a classic ode to the sweltering, oppressive heat of summer. The song opens with the singer lamenting that they would like to have dinner with their beloved, but it's simply too hot to do anything. They describe the desire to "pitch the woo" with their partner, but even that seems impossible when the temperature is so high, as their lover is too hot to handle. The song then takes a humorous turn, describing how women would rather cuddle with their dogs in the cold weather, but in the summer heat, men are equally uninterested in attempting any romantic endeavors.
The lyrics to "Too Darn Hot" represent a longing for relief from the heat, but also a resignation to the fact that it is simply too much to handle. The repeated refrain of "It's Too Darn Hot" emphasizes the unbearable nature of the temperature, and the desire for a respite that seems unattainable. The song is a playful commentary on the ways in which extreme weather can affect our desires, our moods, and our ability to engage with one another.
